Skymark also announced plans for a daily roundtrip flight on three routes connecting Yonago with Haneda (Tokyo), Naha (Okinawa) and New Chitose (Sapporo) starting in November 2014. The move will mark a dramatic increase in domestic commercial flights to Yonaga, which is now only served by five daily roundtrip flights to Haneda courtesy of All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (ANA).
